The group was confronted by several suspects and held at knifepoint for over an hour and a half. The victims were threatened and assaulted, and eventually robbed of their cell phones, identification, cash and bank cards.

Earlier this month, four males - between the ages of 16 and 19 - were arrested for their involvement in the incident. A fifth person, a 21-year-old man, turned himself in to police Monday.

Winnipeg police have an arrest warrant for a sixth man, 18-year-old Joseph Jordan Henderson, for his alleged involvement in the robbery. He is facing numerous robbery and confinement charges.

Anyone with any information regarding Henderson’s whereabouts is asked to contact investigators at (204) 986-2877 or Crime Stoppers at (204) 786-TIPS (8477).
